Question Number 138193 by mey3nipaba last updated on 10/Apr/21

Given x≠y and x^2 =25x+y, y^2 =x+25y   solve for the value of (√(x^2 +y^2 +1)) without   using calculators or tools.  Show your method.

$${Given}\:{x}\neq{y}\:{and}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{25}{x}+{y},\:{y}^{\mathrm{2}} ={x}+\mathrm{25}{y}\: \\ $$$${solve}\:{for}\:{the}\:{value}\:{of}\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}}\:{without}\: \\ $$$${using}\:{calculators}\:{or}\:{tools}. \\ $$$${Show}\:{your}\:{method}. \\ $$

x^2 =25x+y  y^2 =x+25y  ⇒x^2 +y^2 =26(x+y)  ⇒x^2 −y^2 =24(x−y)  ⇒(x−y)[(x+y)−24]=0  ⇒x+y = 24   (√(x^2 +y^2 +1)) = (√(26.24+1))  =(√((25+1)(25−1)+1))  =(√(25^2 )) = 25

$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{25}{x}+{y} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} ={x}+\mathrm{25}{y} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{26}\left({x}+{y}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{y}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{24}\left({x}−{y}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({x}−{y}\right)\left[\left({x}+{y}\right)−\mathrm{24}\right]=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}+{y}\:=\:\mathrm{24}\: \\ $$$$\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}}\:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{26}.\mathrm{24}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\left(\mathrm{25}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left(\mathrm{25}−\mathrm{1}\right)+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\mathrm{25}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\mathrm{25} \\ $$

But please I do not understand from where  you equated it to 0. Can you explain?

⇒x^2 −y^2 −24(x−y)=0  ⇒(x−y)(x+y)−24(x−y)=0  ⇒(x−y)(x+y−24)=0  since x≠y it follows that x+y−24=0

$$\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{24}\left({x}−{y}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({x}−{y}\right)\left({x}+{y}\right)−\mathrm{24}\left({x}−{y}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({x}−{y}\right)\left({x}+{y}−\mathrm{24}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${since}\:{x}\neq{y}\:{it}\:{follows}\:{that}\:{x}+{y}−\mathrm{24}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

Thanks. I get this now but the part where  you had 26.4 as the value of x^2 +y^2 .  Isn′t it supposed to be 264?
